LOTS OF TAPES TO DO!!

hello all, this is my first post and my first time on these boards. So please be gentle!!

SO...i have about 8 tapes all about 90mins. I need to take the whole lot off to ma harddrive. Im using Ulead to do it. But was wondering if there was a VERY quick way to take off the video off the tapes, as opposed to let it do it in real time.

The rush is that I need them before friday!! so any help would be appreciated.
